I'd forgotten about that!  I can say I've been buying from Bookpool for over 
four years, and I've always gotten great service (not to mention the BEST 
computer book prices on the Web).  They'll sometimes (rarely) need a week or 
so to bring in an out-of-stock book, but the savings are so good, a little 
patience pays off.  More often than not, though, they have what you want in 
stock, at a price you won't get anywhere else, and they ship fast!  I've 
purchased hundreds of dollars worth of books from these guys, and there isn't 
a better bookseller on the Web for geeks.  Others out there that I can 
recommend would be Readmedoc.com and Fatbrain.com.
